This is an informal, online session where anyone is welcome to bring their questions or ideas about using tools such as the iDigBio API (Application Programming Interface) to work with biodiversity occurrence data in R. Community members of all backgrounds (collections staff, researchers, IT, etc.) and levels of programming experience (including R novice) are encouraged to use these office hours as a time to discover and discuss API data access, issues, and solutions. At the beginning of each session we will host a 5-10 minute demo, followed by an open agenda.
Hosted by the iDigBio API User Group (R-based) - see more at bit.ly/idigbio-api-wg
